Angelus ,'Damage'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But I may only be interested in amusing myself, and not actually helping.
If the shoe were on the other foot (which it would never be) I might be purchasing popcorn right about now. So yeah. Family is funny. Whee.
Where did I stow that extra motivation?
Our car is encased in a hard candy shell of street plow snow, ice, and more snow. I am looking forward to the thaw so we can figure out where the roof leak is coming from.
I wanted a grilled cheese sandwich for comfort food, but based on what was in the fridge, I had to go with the Texas equivalent: a half-corn, half-flour tortilla with melted cheese.
Dana, that actually sounds pretty tasty. And comforting.
I really should go to rehearsal tonight, since I missed two weeks while I was with my mother. On the other hand, I'm progressively feeling more and more like crap.
I have arduous tasked, and would like some glittery star stickers, please. I have confirmed travel plans for an event I'm a guest at, contacted someone about a job lead, and (the most arduous/nerve-wracking) scheduled a consultation appointment with an oral surgeon to finally get my wisdom teeth out.
I have arduous tasked, too! I've done AMA work (and another article just landed in my inbox), made the bed, washed dishes, done 2 loads of laundry, cleaned the toilet, gone to the library for Doctor Who DVDs, gone to CVS, and gone to the gym. Oh, and cleaned off the grungy phone. How do they get so dirty???
Now more editing awaits me, woo.
I was in denial about this draft article I am supposed to send out this week, and thought I was nearly done. Then I realized one chunk is not written at all. SIGH OF ONEROUSNESS.
My weekend was a bit too heavy on the arduous task scale, with grading all day Fri and Sat and culling and cleaning all day Sun and Mon. But we squeezed in the Lego Movie too, so that was fun.
Sending good vibes to you and the kids, Kat. And K too.
mr. flea and the kids went to the Lego movie yesterday, and I went to the academic library and took notes on a book that has, I shit you not, 1142 pages. And also talked to my crazy former boss, the one with whom I once had a sit-down meeting about whether or not there was toner in the closet.
Brag ahead.
As a huge corporation, our company moves very slowly with the annual review process. Today I talked to my boss about my performance over the last year. I won't find out about the promotion he put me up for or any salary increase until some point in March.
He shared the feedback write up that is the basis for the promotion request which included the following...
She instills confidence quickly due to her clear knowledge of the cost and control tools. She mentors others and transfers knowledge within in the PM community. She is very much an exemplary project controls professional.
That last sentence. Damn. ::blush::.
